The screenshot of the slide features questions such as, “Do girls masturbate?” and “Is it good or bad to do anal?” and Norris explained that it is intended to show teens that such questions are normal, and that her presentation will help them better understand their sexual health. The presentation titled Healthy Relationships 101 – which Higgs admitted he has not seen in its entirety – then discusses healthy and unhealthy friendships and relationship behaviour, sexuality and puberty, consent, abstinence and sexually transmitted infections.
Norris said she has delivered similar presentations for more than two decades in schools across the country, in consultation with local education and public health officials, and she has never faced backlash or criticism.
